Can you tell Informix to output trace information to stdout or stderr?

I need to use the Informix 'trace' debugging.

In order to use it, you specify the debug file using set debug file to .....

Is it poss开发者_高级运维ible to output the trace data to stdout or sterr instead?

No, because the server has its standard output and standard error connected to /dev/null (so you wouldn't see anything even if you did redirect to them). Remember, the database server might not even be on the same continent as you (the ones I use are about 1500 miles from where I sit - when it isn't on my laptop).
